My Perfect Life Kindle Edition

Imagine my excitement. As a newly minted college graduate, I just arrived in New York City, soon to begin my first real job. I will be joining Peter &Wells, as an editorial assistant. I quickly signed a lease on an affordable apartment. To supplement my modest salary, I found a weekend bartending job at a popular restaurant. I reported early on Monday morning. After paperwork with the personnel department, I was introduced to Anne Hopkins, a senior editor, who would be my supervisor. She was a superb editor and an outstanding mentor/teacher. Meet Henry Smithe Weathersbee, Managing Editor, later Vice President of Publishing. In my early career, he was an exceptional mentor. I moved rapidly up the corporate ladder, thanks to strong mentorships, my diligent work habits and being the right person in the right place at the right time. I was given an exceptional opportunity to work with a newly signed, but difficult author. Larry O'Neil was a brilliant author and lived up to his reputation of being difficult. Larry is gay and has been in a long-term relationship. Working closely, we developed a productive relationship and became close friends. I met and married Natalie Hewitt, the daughter of a Chinese mother and a bi-racial American father. The family controls a worldwide corporation. Natalie gave me 3 magnificent children. In process of writing his novel, dealing with Sainthood, Larry has extensive contact with the Catholic Church and with a Msgr. Murphy. Larry reaches an independent decision to end his relationship with long-time partner and to abandon his gay lifestyle. Peter, the rejected partner, blames me and Msgr. Murphy for Larry's decision. He joins forces with Weathersbee and launches a substantial attack on me. In a Board meeting Weathersbee demands, that I be fired! He will resign if the Board rejects his motion. Peter initiates a lawsuit against Peter &Wells and me personally. My Perfect Life could now be ended! Read more
